verse 1 
   F      C 
I asked my girl 
     Bb            F 
Baby do you love me true? 
Bb        F              Dm             C 
Do you love me like the ocean loves the blue? 
Bb               F         C              Dm  
She rolled over and, she stopped me in my tracks 
Bb           F                   C            F 
"It'll be revealed some day when we are both cats"

verse 2 
    F       C 
I blinked my eyes 
      Bb          F 
And considered a reply 
Bb      F              Dm            C 
Hey baby, do you think you could clarify? 
         Bb               F              C             Dm 
When she said the words again, I wasn't sure how to react 
Bb            F                  C            F 
"It'll be revealed some day when we are both cats"

verse 3 
     F        C  
So I asked my girl 
           Bb             F 
What that meant about our past 
Bb            F             Dm                 C 
All those times you told me that our love would last 
Bb               F           C            Dm 
Did you love me then or was all of that an act? 
Bb           F                   C            F 
"It'll be revealed some day when we are both cats"

verse 4 
      F       C 
So I walked outside 
           Bb              F 
'cause I needed some fresh air 
Bb          F              Dm            C 
Went out driving, caught a movie, cut my hair 
   Bb                F 
But no matter where I went 
          C               Dm 
All her words kept coming back 
Bb           F                   C            F 
"It'll be revealed some day when we are both cats" 

Verse 5 
           F         C 
And then when I came home 
        Bb                  F 
Oh, the bird had spread her wings 
Bb    F        Dm             C 
She evacuated all her little things 
Bb             F            C            Dm   Dm 
Just a little note to the mantle was attached... 
Bb             F                 C            F 
"We will meet again someday when we are both cats"
